The status of research on damping in fiber-reinforced composite materials and structures with emphasis on polymer composites has been reviewed in this paper. As a first step, composite damping mechanisms and methodology ...

This paper presents an algorithm and its implementation for performing scheduling and operator allocation for data path synthesis. The main advantage of this approach is that it is capable of handling global time constraint ...

For constructing massively parallel multicomputers with over 5000 processing nodes, the star graph topology is known to be better than the hypercube in terms of the average routing distance, the number of links per node, ...

The thermochemical conversion of waste biomass was studied in a 1-m3 mud kiln. The yield of biocoal from the kiln ranged between 32 and 33%, depending upon the raw material used for carbonization. The physiochemical ...

In systems where production of a commodity or service is accompanied by simultaneous generation of detriments, reduction of the latter usually implies increase in production cost. This leaves considerable scope for sustainable ...

A decoding algorithm for linear codes over Z4={0,1,2,3}, the ring of integers module 4, is given which gives the codewords that is closest to the received vector in Lee distance
